DAC0854 Quad 8-Bit Voltage-Output
Serial D/A Converter with Readback
DAC0854 Quad 8-Bit Voltage-Output Serial D/A Converter with Readback
January 1995
General Description
The DAC0854 is a complete quad 8-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter that can operate on a single 5V supply. It includes on-chip output amplifiers, internal voltage reference, and a serial microprocessor interface. By combining
in one package the reference, amplifiers, and conversion
circuitry for four D/A converters, the DAC0854 minimizes
wiring and parts count and is hence ideally suited for applications where cost and board space are of prime concern.
The DAC0854 also has a data readback function, which can
be used by the microprocessor to verify that the desired
input word has been properly latched into the DAC0854’s
data registers. The data readback function simplifies the design and reduces the cost of systems which need to verify
data integrity.
The logic comprises a MICROWIRE
TM
-compatible serial interface and control circuitry. The interface allows the user to
write to any one of the input registers or to all four at once.
The latching registers are double-buffered, consisting of 4
separate input registers and 4 DAC registers. Double buffering allows all 4 DAC outputs to be updated simultaneously.
The four reference inputs allow the user to configure the
system to have a separate output voltage range for each
DAC. The output voltage of each DAC can range between
0.3V and 2.8V and is a function of V
input word.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional. These ratings do not guarantee specific performance limits, however. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Converter Electrical
Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not
operated under the listed test conditions.

Note 4: The sum of the currents at all pins that are driven beyond the power supply voltages should not exceed 20 mA.
Note 5: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by T
(package junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA(ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is

Databook for other methods of soldering surface mount devices.
Note 8: Typicals are at T
Note 9: Limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 10: A monotonicity of 8 bits for the DAC0854 means that the output voltage changes in the same direction (or remains constant) for each increase in the input
code.
Note 11: Integral linearity error is the maximum deviation of the output from the line drawn between zero and full-scale (excluding the effects of zero error and fullscale error).
Note 12: Full-scale error is measured as the deviation from the ideal 2.800V full-scale output when V
Note 13: Full-scale error tempco and zero error tempco are defined by the following equation:

0.25V (5%). The load resistor R
Note 16: Positive or negative settling time is defined as the time taken for the output of the DAC to settle to its final full-scale or zero output to within
This time shall be referenced to the 50% point of the positive edge of CS
Note 17: Digital crosstalk is the glitch measured on the output of one DAC while applying an all 0s to all 1s transition at the input of the other DACs.
Note 18: All DACs have full-scale outputs latched and DI is clocked with no update of the DAC outputs. The glitch is then measured on the DAC outputs.
Note 19: Clock feedthrough is measured for each DAC with its output at full-scale. The serial clock is then applied to the DAC at a frequency of 10 MHz and the
glitch on each DAC full-scale output is measured.
Note 20: Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the effect of a change in one DAC’s output on the output of another DAC. The V
between 1.4V and 2.65V at a frequency of 15 kHz while the change in full-scale output of the second DAC is measured. The first DAC is loaded with all 0s.
Note 21: Glitch energy is the difference between the positive and negative glitch areas at the output of the DAC when a 1 LSB digital input code change is applied
to the input. The glitch energy will have its largest value at one of the three major transitions. The peak value of the maximum glitch is separately specified.
Note 22: Power Supply Rejection Ratio is measured by varying AV
of this signal imposed on a full-scale output of the DAC under consideration.
